RE: short term "Intro Pilot" program
They only require a signature by parent or guardian nothing further. It must be an original signature not a copy so snail mail application is required. The membership applications are in every issue of Model Aviation magazine or the form is in the AMA website. Its the same form for all types of membership and there is a check box for the Youth Membership without magazine
It is not neccessary for the parent or guardians to be AMA members. Dont' confuse the check box for the Extra Family Membership.
